Dear Friend,

This week we were subjected to the muted spectacle of the DNC’s convention. Promises were made even as previous promises — such as ending subsidies for fossil fuels — were dropped.

All they have to do to scare you in line is compare themselves to Trump, right?

But the parties of War and Wall Street, together, led us to Trump. Their two-party cartel poisoned our democracy over decades and paved the way for a racist, sexist, corrupt demagogue.

And even as the Democrats crown themselves as our democracy’s saviors, they are still poisoning our elections, fighting tooth and nail to keep Green Party candidates off the ballot across the country.

That’s why we need you to donate to the Green Party’s Ballot Access Committee today. Your gift will be earmarked for getting Greens on the ballot by whatever means available: we petition on the streets, we fight in the courts, we fight for your right to choose.

Our presidential ballot access campaign is currently petitioning in Idaho, Virginia, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Arizona, Alabama, Wyoming and North Dakota. Oklahoma is demanding an extortionate $35,000 filing fee!

We are certified in Iowa for the ballot and turned in 2500 signatures. Tennessee will be turned in today, with around 500 signatures.

We’ve come so far but have a long way to go — and not much time. This is how we must fight for voter rights in the middle of a pandemic! This is how the Democrats and Republicans try to use a health crisis to benefit themselves.

Give today, whatever you can. Volunteer however you can. This country needs the Green Party, our values and our candidates more than ever. Our Ballot Access Committee needs your help!

Thank you for giving your all,
Gloria Mattera
Green Party National Co-Chair
Ballot Access Committee Member

P.S. Did we mention that presidential vote performance affects ballot access for future, local candidates in 40 out of 50 states? The votes we win in 2020 will set up Green candidates for years to come. Give today to secure ballot lines for tomorrow's local candidates!
